→Complete ABIs: Tweaked a bit |

Line 31:
[[Compiler]]s that support the EABI create [[object code]] that is compatible with code generated by other such compilers, allowing developers to link libraries generated with one compiler with object code generated with another compiler. Developers writing their own [[assembly language]] code may also interface with assembly generated by a compliant compiler.
EABIs are designed to optimize for performance within the limited resources of an embedded system. Therefore, EABIs omit most abstractions that are made between kernel and user code in complex operating systems. For example, [[dynamic linking]] may be avoided to allow smaller executables and faster loading, fixed register usage allows more compact stacks and kernel calls, and running the application in privileged mode allows direct access to custom hardware operation without the indirection of calling a device driver.<ref name="ppc-eabi">{{cite book
